-the best way to get target traffic is search engines :
1- submit your blog to blog directories
2- comments other blog
3- submit your article to article directories
4- posting forums
5- social bookmarking
it is not just use these tactic but you should master them.
affiliate marketing need time and your blog need to rank well in search engine.
try to study your niche market and which the first place online you can get them.

I would imagin that you would promote a blog just like any other site apart from you have extra places to submit it as their are specialty sites just for blogs.

So doing things like:

link exchanges
article writing
adding your link to your email and forum sigs
etc....

These are very good ideas to promote a blog. If you are looking for a more "readable" resource on increasing the blog traffic, that's a nice article:

Hi Zackkoss,

My advice to you is to stick at it! I understand that you have been doing affiliate marketing for two months, but how long has your blog been running for? If it is the same length of time I suggest that actioning dome of the suggestions posted by the members here would be a great first step, combined with actual and real communication with your audience. What do they want? What do they like to read about? What issues are important to them?

People often forget about word of mouth.

Try to make a blog psot at least once per day. Write the stuff yourself, no duplicate content.

I try to make each blog post at least 300 words.

Research your keywords and make sure to put keywords in the title and in your blog post. Do not overdo it.

Try targeting the longer keyword phrases (3-4 words). You will have a much better chance of ranking with these phrases.

Post your blogs pages to as many social bookmark sites as you can. There are some automated software packages out there that will do this automatically.

Keep at it!

I must admit, if you have a blog, then writting your own content is much more better than just using other peoples free reprint articles. I see alot of blogs that use other peoples articles and then I have seen alot that right their own stuff. With the blogs that write their own stuff, I feel that there has been more thought put into the content and you can see that. The content is more personal.
